Keep America Safe's chairman, Liz Cheney, has released the following statement regarding the Obama administration's handling of the flotilla incident:

Yesterday, President Obama said the Israeli action to stop the flotilla bound for the Gaza Strip was tragic. What is truly tragic is that President Obama is perpetuating Israels enemies version of events. The Israeli government has imposed a blockade around Gaza because Hamas remains committed to Israels destruction, refusing to recognize Israels right to exist and using territory under their control to launch attacks against Israeli civilians. The Israeli blockade of Gaza, in order to prevent the re-arming of Hamas, is in full compliance with international law. Had the Turkish flotilla truly been interested in providing humanitarian aid to Gaza, they would have accepted the Israeli offer to off-load their supplies peacefully at the Israeli port of Haifa for transport into Gaza. President Obama is contributing to the isolation of Israel, and sending a clear signal to the Turkish-Syrian-Iranian axis that their methods for ostracizing Israel will succeed, and will be met by no resistance from America. There is no middle ground here. Either the United States stands with the people of Israel in the war against radical Islamic terrorism or we are providing encouragement to Israels enemiesand our own. Keep America Safe calls on President Obama to reverse his present course and support the state of Israel immediately and unequivocally.

U.S. Army Training Fatah Terrorists To Attack Israel! Palestinian Authority Special Forces were praised this week by an American general for becoming the founders of a new Arab country within Israel's current borders. Addressing a battalion in Tulkarm that recently finished training in Jordan, US lt. General Keith Dayton said: "As I look at you, I couldn't be more proud of the fact that you stepped up to be the founders of a Palestinian state."
